Section 6 Visit to Japan (Part II)
Ji Xiaobin called several other major staff officers, and after going to the Japanese liaison officer to ask for two jeeps, he went directly to the city of Nagasaki. During the visit, sailors were not allowed to go ashore casually, but this regulation did not apply to Ji Xiaobin, who had just been promoted to brigadier general, and Liao Hanxiang and Wu Xianyu also turned a blind eye and did not stop Ji Xiaobin and his party.
Nagasaki has been a commercial port for hundreds of years, and Nagasaki is the fourth largest commercial city in Japan and the largest on the island of Kyushu. Although the population of the city is less than 300,000, it is lined with shops and many offices of foreign companies. The Japanese liaison officer who led the way took Ji Xiaobin and his party to the Lijia Japanese tavern, of course, it was a pure Japanese kind, and you need to take off your shoes when you enter the door.
"Renhao, have you ever heard of Japan's women's body?" Hao Dongjue laughed lewdly.
Tan Renhao frowned, of course he had heard of "Female Body Sheng", it was a manifestation of the perversion of the Japanese, before World War I, this kind of Japanese hotel appeared in many cities of the empire, but after the outbreak of the war, the empire imprisoned all the Japanese overseas Chinese, and those taverns were closed. And after the war, the Japanese simply could not gain a foothold in the empire, let alone open taverns.
"You say, Colonel, General Ji Xiaobin will invite us to ......" Hao Dongjue's eyebrows raised a few times, and then he laughed.
"Don't think too nicely about you kid, General Ji Xiaobin can invite us to dinner, which is already very good." Tan Renhao glanced at Hao Dongjue, "Don't embarrass me later, otherwise I will leave you here and let you enjoy some kind of bullshit banquet for Japanese women for the rest of your life." ”
Hao Dongjue immediately smiled and nodded, he hated the Japanese very much, and of course he didn't want to stay on this island where birds don't for the rest of his life.
Because none of the officers knew Japanese, it was the Japanese liaison officer who ordered the food in the end. Tan Renhao soon discovered that several other staff officers did not have much interest in Japanese food, especially those "fake" sushi and raw fish fillets, which made people uncomfortable thinking about it. Finally, when the wine was served, these staff officers were even more upset, Japanese sake was even weaker than the beer supplied by the Imperial Navy, it was almost like plain water, can this be called wine? However, for the sake of General Ji Xiaobin's face, the staff officers did not show this dislike in their hearts, no matter what, this is a banquet for Ji Xiaobin to be promoted to general.
After the wine and food were served, the Japanese liaison officer whispered in Ji Xiaobin's ear for a while, and then Ji Xiaobin frowned. The Japanese liaison officer probably didn't notice Ji Xiaobin's expression, so he went out to find the boss, and then crackled and said something to the boss, which looked quite vicious.
"What did he say?"
Hao Dongjue shook his head, he couldn't understand Japanese at all. Tan Renhao glanced at Chang Jianxin on the other side. Chang Zhixin quickly shook his head, obviously he couldn't understand Japanese either.
Just when Tan Renhao was a little confused, a kabuki with heavy makeup and a more female ghost on his face entered the private room and put on a posture in the empty corner. Things were not yet playing, and when a group of young Japanese women in almost "topless" kimonos walked in, the expressions of the Imperial Navy officers sitting there immediately changed. The Imperial Navy did not regulate the private lives of officers, but such collective "prostitution" was certainly punishable severely.
"What is this for?" Ji Xiaobin's expression also changed immediately, "Let these women get out, we don't need women, get out!" ”
The Japanese liaison officer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly drove out the Japanese women, along with the Kabuki, obviously in the wrong place for his affection.
"What a disappointment****** Ji Xiaobin saw that everyone's faces were not good-looking, so he called the Japanese liaison officer over, "Go find some spirits, what kind of bullshit wine is this, it's like water, we want spirits, understand?" It's the kind of liquor that men drink, not the woman's footwater! ”
I'm afraid that the Japanese liaison officer is also a "Hatang", otherwise there is no need to learn Chinese, let alone nod in front of the imperial officers. After being angrily reprimanded by Ji Xiaobin, he immediately went to find the boss, and then took his anger out on the poor middle-aged man.
Ten minutes later, several bottles of Erguotou liquor imported from the empire were delivered, and Ji Xiaobin's expression looked a little better.
"Let them not come and disturb us, and don't come in if it's okay!" Ji Xiaobin opened a bottle of wine and began to pour it for several staff officers, "Everyone, today we are not talking about military affairs, everyone drinks happily, even if it is to give me Ji Xiaobin's face." The unpleasantness of the beginning was put aside, and we drank happily. ”
The atmosphere immediately became lively, originally the navy forbade officers to drink spirits when performing tasks, but now it is a special situation, and with General Ji Xiaobin on his shoulders, everyone has let go of those rules. All the staff officers toasted Ji Xiaobin three times before toasting each other. Of course, everyone's focus was on Ji Xiaobin, a few glasses of wine, and the unpleasant things at the beginning were forgotten.
Tan Renhao didn't think about it so much, he first saluted Ji Xiaobin, and then saluted Ji Xiaobin with his two partners. The other staff officers are the same, this is a tacit understanding, today is to congratulate Ji Xiaobin on his promotion to the commodore of the Imperial Navy, if this former colonel is not overturned, then this meal will be in vain.
The celebration lasted until about nine o'clock in the evening, and Ji Xiaobin was completely drunk by a group of staff officers, and finally carried him out of the tavern by two strong staff officers. When I returned to the fleet, it was almost eleven o'clock, and in order to prevent General Liao Hanxiang from finding out, several staff officers quietly climbed up the gangway and sent Ji Xiaobin back to the cabin.
The visit lasted five days, and the officers and men of the Imperial Navy were warmly welcomed in Nagasaki, as if Japan had been a friendly neighbor of the Empire for generations, and that the war had not broken out at all more than twenty years earlier. When the fleet left the Nagasaki military port, the mayor of Nagasaki City and the commander of the local fleet came to see them off, and a group of Japanese women gave each officer of the fleet a souvenir and invited the Fifth Fleet of the Imperial Navy to visit again. Liao Hanxiang naturally also made some diplomatic rhetoric, such as thanking the Japanese side for their hospitality, inviting the Japanese fleet to visit the imperial military port, and so on. By the time the fleet left Nagasaki Naval Port, night had already fallen, and the farewell ceremony alone lasted for most of the day!
